Bid adieu, adieu, adieu
Bid adieu to Girlish Days
Happy Love has come to woo
Thee and woo thy girlish ways
The zone that doth become thee fair
The snood upon thy yellow hair
When thou hast heard his name upon
The bugles of the cherubim
Begin thou softly to un-zone
Thy girlish bozom unto him
And softly to undo the snood
That is the sign of maidenhood
Bid adieu, adieu, adieu
Bid adieu to Girlish Days
Happy Love has come to woo
Thee and woo thy girlish ways
The zone that doth become thee fair
The snood upon thy yellow hair
